Chapter 44 43. Busy
early morning.
On the bedside table, the alarm clock rang.
Reaching out his hand to press it off, Gu Heng frowned and sat up from the bed.
After staying up late and working overtime for four or five days in a row, even though his physical condition was always good, he felt a little unsustainable at the moment.
But according to his schedule, he and Lin Zhixun had to go to the game company called Sundaytoz to negotiate this morning.
Sitting on the bed to calm down for a while, he managed to cheer up.
I took the phone from my pillow and saw a lot more unread messages on Kakaotalk.
First, there are some messages from Lin Zhixun and company employees about today’s schedule.
He replied simply.
After that, it’s Lin Yoona.
【yoona】:Morning
【yoona】:Another energetic day
【yoona】:yawn.jpg
Gu Heng subconsciously looked at the time when the message was sent.
05:01
No wonder it is said to be "full of energy".
Gu Heng shook his head, smiled, and replied to her with the same three messages.
Such is the schedule and work of idol stars.
Speaking of which, this girl Li Zhien has not been home for two or three days.
Get out of bed, wash up, change clothes, eat.
Half an hour later, Gu Heng hurried out the door.
The car arranged by Kakao Corp to pick him up was arriving in front of Li's house, and Lin Zhixun was also in the back seat.
After getting in the car, they both smiled when they looked at the two bags under the eyes that were equally conspicuous on the other person's face.
"If we talk about cooperation with such a facial expression, will the other party think that our company is very unreliable, Director Lin?" Gu Heng made a small joke.
"This is an honorable proof of dedicating yourself to work, right?"
"If President Jin Fanxiu had a thousand employees like you, he would probably wake up laughing from his dreams at night." Gu Heng rolled his eyes.
The two of them had just chatted for a few words in the car before the vehicle arrived at its destination.
Sundaytoz is a small start-up game company founded in 2009 with only twenty members.
Due to limitations of scale, Sundaytoz naturally cannot occupy an entire commercial building like Kakao Corp. Instead, it can only rent one floor of an office building in Seocho District as a working location.
Gu Heng, Lin Zhixun and several other staff members got out of the car, and under the guidance of the reception staff, took the elevator to the Sundaytoz office floor.
Li Chengha, the founder of Sundaytoz, and several others were already waiting at the door.
Although Kakao Corp is not among the chaebols in South Korea, for a small company like this that is closer to a studio, it is already a behemoth, so there is no way it can be scornful.
Li Chenghe is about forty years old and wears formal clothes.
However, judging from the way he adjusts his tie from time to time, it seems that he is a little uncomfortable with this kind of clothing.
Leaving the communication work to Lin Zhixun, Gu Heng silently looked at everyone in the Sundaytoz company and made judgments.
After shaking hands and making brief introductions, Li Chenghe led Gu Heng, Lin Zhixun and others into a conference room.
Although the conference room is not large, it can be seen from the temporary placement of several pots of green plants on the four corners and window edges of the room that Sundaytoz attaches great importance to this meeting.
After a brief opening introduction, Lin Zhixun officially started today's negotiation with Li Chengha.
Regarding the specific capital injection plan, Gu Heng just listened intently and did not say anything.
On the one hand, Lin Zhixun had discussed these contents with him in advance, and on the other hand, these contents often involved some details of South Korean business company laws, and his rash intervention would probably only cause confusion.
It is his consistent philosophy to leave professional issues to professionals.
Only when I occasionally hear some unfamiliar terms, I whisper to the person next to me in Kakao.
After one hour.
"We respect your company's desire to maintain the independence of game production"
Lin Zhixun and Gu Heng looked at each other and looked at Li Chenghe, "20% shareholding does not interfere with the specific content and direction of game production, but it needs to be distributed through the Kakao game platform first and divided into shares. What does Mr. Li Chenghe think of this price?
?”
Li Chenghe clenched his fists excitedly and finally nodded, "Okay!"
Not only because of the capital injection, but also because of the commitment made by Lin Zhixun.
Sundaytoz's next game, the casual elimination game "Anipang" that is in post-production, will receive marketing support from Kakaotalk channels after it is released on the Kakao game platform.
Published through the Kakao game platform, you must pay a corresponding revenue share, but compared with the huge user traffic that may be obtained. This account is not difficult for anyone to calculate.
"But Mr. Li Chenghe," Gu Heng tapped the table and began his first speech in this conference room, "We also hope that your company's games can have a closer connection with Kakao."
"A closer connection?" Li Chenghe was startled.
"Friends function."
"Is there an in-game friend function? This is not difficult to implement."
"No, I mean that after it is published by Kakao, game users are allowed to register and log in directly using Kakaotalk account, and if the user allows it, the user's Kakaotalk friend list can also be automatically imported."
"At the same time, we have developed modes that allow users to directly set up rooms with in-game friends for multiplayer PK."
"besides."
Listening to the smooth statement of the man across the table, Li Chenghe was stunned for a moment.
Two hours later.
Gu Heng, Lin Zhixun and others walked out of the conference room.
At the door of Sundaytoz, Lin Zhixun raised his hand to stop Li Chenghe.
"Mr. Li Chenghe, just send it here. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"We must work hard!"
"Farewell."
I got off the elevator and walked out of the office building.
Lin Zhixun sent several other people from Kakao Corp back to the company first, turned his head to look at Gu Heng who was still thinking about something, and said with a smile,
"What are you thinking about? I think Li Chenghe is scared to death by you."
"I just asked him to add some new features to the game. It didn't scare him." Gu Heng came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head in denial.
"Isn't that scary enough?" Lin Zhixun recalled Li Chenghe's troubled appearance in the conference room and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Although Gu Heng did not mention what effects he would have once the things he mentioned were realized, he could already vaguely foresee that it would completely change Kakao Corp's entire business model.
"No matter how good the prediction is, it must be based on the quality of the games we are betting on." Gu Heng didn't feel too excited.
Although the current idea of building a gaming platform is basically progressing according to his plan, it does not mean that the desired benefits will be achieved when the plan is completed.
What's more, we are only completing the most basic work now, and there is still a longer road ahead.
"Such a cold work attitude, tsk, no wonder President Jin told me privately that he knew right away when he saw you boy that you and he are not the same kind of people."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and take you to drink ginseng chicken soup to replenish your body."
Lin Zhixun couldn't help but put his arm around Gu Heng's shoulders.
Chapter completed!
